Escape from Azkaban Flint?

No: HPFGUIDX 60562

The escape of Sirius has always driven me mad. Did he escape the night Fudge 
went out there?  And if so, how could he have been talking in his sleep "for 
a while now?"

Mr. Weasley says, "They didn't report it in the press because Fudge wanted 
it kept quiet, but Fudge went out to Azkaban the night Black escaped. The 
guards told Fudge that Black's been talking in his sleep for a while now.  
Always the same words: 'He's at Hogwarts...he's at Hogwarts.'" US p.66

Cornelius Fudge says, "Yet I met Black on my last inspection of Azkaban.  
You know, most of the prisoners in there sit muttering to themselves in the 
dark; there's no sense in them...but I was shocked at how normal Black 
seemed.  He spoke quite rationally to me.  It was unnerving.  You'd have 
thought he was merely bored--asked if I'd finished with my newspaper, cool 
as you please, said he missed doing the crossword."  p. 209

Sirius says in p. 371 "But then I saw Peter in that picture...I realized he 
was at Hogwarts with Harry...perfectly positioned to act, if one hint 
reached his ears that the Dark Side was gathering strength again..."  "So, 
one night when they opened my door to bring food, I slipped past them as a 
dog."


Trying to get to p. 734 of GoF before Friday night!
